125. Exploring Endometriosis-Associated Pain

People with endo have a range of pain from none to mild to moderate to severe. Amy and Brittany talk about pain associated with endometriosis, such when and where we can have it. We give a quick and general overview of multiple reasons for endo-associated pain, such as inflammation, sensitization, and lesion location. This episode is a bird's eye overview and not an all exhaustive list of reasons why we can have pain with endo. 🔗RESOURCES🔗 For clickable links to the resources below, go to www.insixteenyears.com/episode125 🔗What influences pain levels?
